Vizio M Series 4K UHD TVs – Release Dates and Pricing

The popularity of 4K Ultra HD TVs continues to rise, and with that rise, comes falling prices. And speaking of pricing; when Vizio launched its P Series 4K Ultra HD TVs in October of 2014, a new bench mark was set in the price vs. performance market segment. At that time,Vizio introduced a 50-inch 4K UHD TV for a very affordable $999.00.

Now, several months later, Vizio’s 2015 M Series has made the transition from 1080p to 4K
UHD, and promises even lower pricing. This line-up will feature 9 screen sizes from 43-inches to 80-inches.

A key performance feature still available on these new displays is full-array LED backlighting with local dimming, which enhances contrast and black level reproduction.

Vizio’s P Series got off to a shaky start due to several performance issues that have been mostly resolved. I certainly hope Vizio has perfected its 4K technology in its M Series to the point we will not see any problematic issues with these new displays; and if that is the case, Vizio’s 4K UHD M Series should be a big hit with consumers, especially those who want to make the jump to a 4K TV this year.
